WAHOO! COMING BACK STRONGER AND LARGER THAN EVER!

One door closes and another one opens.I separated from TME. It was mutual. As you know I am one of the most censored hosts in radio. It got to the point it was unbearable, suppose that was their plan. The Edge was zapped every day at 11:02 everyday. Time I could connect it only lasted 20 minutes. TME was not willing to upgrade gear to prevent interference. I don't like reruns. Todays news and comments are for the moment. The new network is by far the most cutting edge and will become your favorite. Bad news, It will also stream live video from my studio! Yikes! As always, I'll make you look good! Chat room will be great. SEE YA SOON.

6000 farmers marched in Warsaw to protest the Polish government’s failure to address their long-standing demands. After failed talks between Union leaders and the prime minister during the afternoon, farmers built an occupation camp outside the prime ministers palace and have vowed to remain until their demands are met.

Money talks, reason walks. Along with common sense, compassion, and any spark of humanity left in the souls of those wretched creatures who are pulling the trigger on humanity one gene-spliced concoction at a time.

The Polish people are serious about protecting the family farmer's right to refuse GMOs and the corporate control that comes with them. We in the US could learn a bit from them when it comes to commitment.
